Ablation of atrial fibrillation using an irrigated-tip catheter: open or closed?
Since the advent of radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias, innovations in catheter design and technology have provided the operator with a growing selection of ablation catheters. In contrast to ablation of common supraventricular arrhythmias, where ablation of a well-defined single site results in excellent clinical outcomes, ablation of complex arrhythmias such as atria...
متن کاملRemote magnetic navigation with irrigated tip catheter for ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND The remote magnetic navigation system (MNS) has been used with a nonirrigated magnetic catheter for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of the newly available irrigated tip magnetic catheter for index pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF). METHODS AND RESULTS Between January 2008...
متن کاملAcute Safety of an Open-Irrigated Ablation Catheter with 56-Hole Porous Tip for Radiofrequency Ablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Analysis from 2 Observational Registry Studies
INTRODUCTION This report presents safety data on the use of a new open-irrigation radiofrequency ablation (RFA) catheter with a 56-hole porous tip in 742 patients enrolled in 2 US prospective, multicenter observational registry studies representing real-world use of the catheter. METHODS This analysis is comprised of patients who underwent RFA of drug-refractory recurrent symptomatic paroxysm...
متن کاملSuccessful irrigated-tip catheter ablation of atrial flutter resistant to conventional radiofrequency ablation.
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation of typical right atrial flutter is now widely performed. The best end point has been demonstrated to be bidirectional isthmus block. We investigated the use of irrigated-tip catheters in a small subset of patients who failed isthmus ablation with conventional radiofrequency (RF) ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS Of 170 patients referred for ablation of common atrial f...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: an update.
Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is now an important therapeutic modality for patients with AF. There is considerable evidence available from several prospective randomized trials demonstrating that catheter ablation of AF is superior to antiarrhythmic drug therapy in controlling AF and that AF ablation improves quality of life substantially. This is especially true for patients wi...
